@mattg8593 9 месяцев назад

It's best practice to release the refrigerant while the gauges are still hooked up (or at least a little to get positive pressure). By taking off the gauge under vacuum, it relies on the spring of the valve core to keep air out, plus you let some air in by the time you unscrew it far enough.

@igor1126 Год назад

You should install DC-DC charger instead of isolator. Since your lithium batteries are very low resistance compared to acid batteries, it will draw lots of amps while charging, this will cause alternator to work at full capacity.

@mtgwdefender Год назад

Never heard of that

@mtgwdefender Год назад

Way too expensive brother! That A/C Unit is $580 at Ebay. I just bought two lithium batteries 12v100ah for $220 each. And just pay some one $400 bucks to installed it. Roughly you’re spending $2k for everything. You’re charging $7k for everything that’s crazy. I understand everyone wants to make some money out here, but Jesus Christ $7k!!

@truckingandfixing 8 месяцев назад

You can get a phone for $200 and you can also get a phone for $2,000. They are both phones. But there are major difference in the components that are being used in each phone, brand name, and functions etc. That is all.

@yuseff_bobr 3 месяца назад

RU-vid pricing lol he had to pay camera guy and spent some time to edit this video. That was an additional 5k 😂😂😂 There’s no money in trucking right now. I might as well sell my truck and open ac installation shop. I ordered the exact same unit from China, different brand but still decent quality lifepo4 batteries 600amp, dc to dc chargers, and all tools and was still under 2k. Took me a few hours to do the job but I guess I can be proud cause I saved at least 5-6k vs Ryan the RU-vidr doing it for me

@calvinspiff4348 6 дней назад

@ArmandoPerez-tj7bc Год назад

I am very interested. I have a few questions. 1) What is the BTU of the AC unit? 2) How many wattage does the 4 batteries have, both AGM and Lithium? 3) Aren’t you concerned that the life cycle of AGM batteries are only around 500, versus 3,000 plus on Lithium? 4) does the lithium battery have self heating to be able to charge when is under 32F? 5) How fast do the batteries charge? I have 3kwh I can charge at 1500 watts so about 2 hours.

Hey Ryan, been watching since you were still driving and stopped in my hometown of Snyder at the allsups. Love your content. If i could ask one question as I'm interested in getting an eapu system installed, would you be willing to use a couple of the newer 560 AH batteries from Dakota lithium in your builds?

Maybe you could use the heater to bring the batteries up to operational temp, then charge. Then that bank could be used for jump starts or other electrical needs normally provided by an APU

I have one that’s about right before it needs charging 12-14 hours. You can go 16 hours or so if you have it on the lowest setting works great 7-8 pm sundown until 9-10 am even in TX and AZ. You can use it while getting loaded and unloaded during the day but you will have to sit under the vent remember only the rear vents work not the front. If your a night driver and sleep during the day it will work with the curtains closed on the bunk but not much longer than your 10 hour break with it set to a higher setting.
